Prints make everything worth it. Even the most random images

[@andreasklindt7144]

This video just proofs, that you don't necessarily need the most modern most expensive gear to make beautiful photographs! In principle just a box with a hole in it... I love it!

[@odukar2315]

Great comment from the lady when she noticed Roger with headphones and a wooden box in the back! "What are you photographing?" Roger: "No much really" That's comedy-LOL!

[@JohnTomasella]

Passer by "what are you doing?" Roger, pulls heads phones off, " are you talking to me?" Passer by " yeah I'm just being nosey" Roger, starts explaining about film, the pinhole and reciprocity failure" Passer by " Oh never mind "

[@IainHC1]

:-D

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

Pretty much nailed it

[@mark-de-leeuw]

Thanks, lovely video with the shoot and the darkroom work combined.

[@jhenline7813]

We are getting spoilt Roger. Another video in less than a week. A very good one too.

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

Thanks J

[@bjornstefansson2618]

Been looking at others videos about printing and developing, but they are so boring...glad yours not...enjoy every minute of them and watch over and over again...always something new to learn...keep e'm coming Roger :)

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

Cheers Björn.

[@StephenMilner]

Hey, what a magnificent video. Keep up the superb work! I look forward to your next video.

[@NathanStarrVideo]

Great watch. Definitely one of the best analogue photog channels. Keep them coming man!

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

Thank you Nathan.

[@NathanStarrVideo]

@@ShootFilmLikeaBoss I should thank you actually. This vid made me get out and shoot a roll of Pan F 35mm after about 9 months of not shooting a frame. I've still got all of the expired Russian film that I told you I'd send on Instagram months ago! Will get it sent on Monday (presuming post offices are still open). Be great if you could find a use for it in one of your vids (8 rolls total). Nath

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

@@NathanStarrVideo cool thanks Nathan

[@donaldcrawford5577]

nice to watch traditional photography in all its form. must be at least 30 years since I did my course at local night school.still got all my darkroom kit all packed away. not a digital image in all this video. great.

[@raybeaumont7670]

Hey up Roger! Corona and the weather are keeping me indoors today. Your vlog just made the day feel better. Think I'll disappear into my darkroom for a bit of fun ........ but I don't have any beer. Damn! Getting as scarce as a bog roll round here. Take care my friend.

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

Have fun and stay safe Ray!

[@carloseduardodutra4398]

hard work to perfection...

[@lensman5762]

Brilliant, really enjoyed the. Video and the photographs.

[@Paul_C83]

The arch photo turn ok nice... 1st was a pleasent shot and 2nd had great mood so for a non important shot is be happy. And considering it was just a phone box the angle and street lamp really make it work. Great stuff

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

Cheers Paul

[@edwardhodges9087]

Love your content. Pinhole cameras, and printing in your own darkroom is my definition of fun. At first I thought I must be mad to attempt such nonsense. When I saw your channel it was confirmed that you too, are damn mad. Inspiring. Cheers.

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

It's fun. When I'm not shooting a video in there I have music playing, coffee or a Beer and play

[@evanphanm]

Great video about photography mate

[@krazywally5685]

Just bought one, thanks Roger great vid 👍

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

Let us know how you get on

[@hiltsyartnstuff1142]

To be able to see better on the video on my timer I can plug in one of my safe lights and when the enlarger is exposing the paper the safe light will turn off. that may help with visibility if you have that option for the closest safe light to the enlarger.

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

That's a great idea I need to look into

[@endingmirage]

That horse head is so strange. Great episode

[@7n8th]

amazing video mate you are such an inspiration..

[@98Kentuckian]

Love watching your videos, you are skilled in the darkroom sir. Unfortunately my Advanced Darkroom course at college has been cancelled along with all other courses. I develop film in my sink but I quite miss making prints. Love the square format, coming from a Mamiya 6 shooter. Stay busy during quarantine!

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

Thanks Jacob. It will soon blow over and you'll be printing again. 👍

[@kelvinclancy7609]

I think we need to start a "get Roger a Hasselblad" fund, or find someone to donate one...or a mamiya 6 or a bronica S2A

[@sorino737]

Totally agree!

[@inevitablecraftslab]

yeah sure why not :)

[@BurningtunaDC]

Hopefully he is getting a check for wearing the hat.

[@nmd1211]

Totally enjoy your videos! Could you do one specifically about calculating exposures - what app you use - and also explain how to throw in reciprocity. If I recall at the beginning, you said the archway was a 16 minute exposure . . . even though it was too much. Thanks!

[@andythurgood1386]

Great as ever, really enjoy watching your process.

[@iainmc9859]

In answer to your question. The rocking horse was designed by Hirst and Sons of Halifax and were made between the 50's and 80's. The earlier versions had pointy ears but the design was changed to more rounded ones just in case a child poked their eye out. I remember playing on one in the field of my primary school, I've also got pictures of my younger daughter on a different one in a play park when she was wee. Unfortunately that one's now gone as well. They've become quite collectible, just because they are so iconic. Well, you did ask ;-)

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

That's awesome.. I remember the pointy ear ones now! Used to grab them if you was lucky enough to be up front.

[@iainmc9859]

I've noticed over the past couple of months that my comments to all the channels I subscribe to rarely have sod all to do with photography. The photo's are only the starting point, the interesting stuff is what follows on from it. Another Poundshop item. I remember you saying you were into the 60's if you had a time machine. I picked up a book, still in cellophane from the Poundshop called 'Public Faces Private Places' by Sandra Lousada. Right up your street, keep an eye open for it.

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

@@iainmc9859 yeah there are some good books out there in charity shops. Hard to find but pop up occasionally.

[@petervanorsouw2858]

Your second print of the arch is reminiscent of Bill Brandt. I like the dark mysterious look of this print, the tree and sky, also the darkness of the wall. Looks as if Jack the ripper could be hiding just around the corner. I wonder if photographery was the way he pulled birds, hey Gov.

[@minisla]

Like the shot of the horse

[@jacasan2000]

Love this channel .. I need to get one pinhole camera soon ..

[@maxencelemoine4190]

containment period in France, stuck in my little apartment for weeks… I would love to have a darkroom to start playing/testing and enter the next step into film photography !

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

Stay safe Maxence.

[@maxencelemoine4190]

@@ShootFilmLikeaBoss thank you, you too (and everyone).

[@yorkieinnz4648]

Entertaining as always, thanks.

[@IainHC1]

I figured you were being a bit adventurous at umpteen minutes on the arch......Especially when my last exposure was 22 minutes and was a LOT darker!! :-D

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

I had a feeling it was too long but went with it.

[@Ricky_25n]

Great video as always! Just wondering is there a way to expose a small size paper and then be able to expose correctly a bigger size paper without much math and test strips? If you already have a video about it, can you point me in the right direction? I'd really appreciate it. I'm new to printing and you're a big inspiration.

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

You know what Ricky, I think there is and I've done that in the past but I can't remember the math. I'll keep your comment noted

[@GenerationAI2024]

Great vid! How do you know how long to expose for when taking into account the reciprocity failure? Thanks for sharing :)

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

I made myself a cheat sheet for that pinhole camera and for various films using a pinhole exposure app and reciprocity charts

[@kdj.imagery4317]

You mentioned using your spot meter, in the case of the archway that was very low key, do you ever meter for the highlights and shadows then shoot something in the middle? My digital camera has such good dynamic range, I've tried bracketing but the resulting image from the three combined is pretty much the same as the base exposure so it's like what's the point. Also, are there still the old red phone booths in and around the London area? Cheers mate, keep up the great work!

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

Some cameras with internal metering i often find the highlight and shadow and go in between

[@Ktheodoss]

My favorite was the angry horse.

[@Kaufeetimevideo]

I just came across another pinhole camera called Ilford Obscura. Accepts 4x5 film or paper.

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

I want to get a 5x4 pinhole this year. Should be fun

[@followingthewing]

Roger Great content as per... Can I ask about the lerouge? Is that pinhole cover easy to open by accident? I'm nearly tempted on the strength of your vids

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

Yes it is. It happened on my last pinhole video and I lost an image. You just have to be careful. I set a new rule now. After each exposure I advance to the next frame. Then if I open the shutter by accident I havnt ruined the last shot. I just advance to the next

[@MrPeetersmark]

How sharp are those pin hole images? I ended up 3D printing one and made my own pinhole. But really soft images. Hence the curiosity. Awesome stuff on this channel though. Makes me want to go out and shoot more often.

[@remus9249]

The sharpness of your images depends on the size of the pinhole if I remember correctly, the larger the hole the softer the image will be. Anything 0.5mm and under should give pretty sharp images though the smaller you go the longer your exposures will be. check out this site: www.mrpinhole.com/wiz.php it helps you calculate everything. I used it to build my own pinhole camera.

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

@@remus9249 thanks Remus.

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

Do you shoot yours much? Respect for making your own!

[@MrPeetersmark]

Shoot Film Like a Boss, I finished making it last weekend and have shot 1 roll of test film to get the exposure and composition correct. I will be using it more for sure.

[@Al_Bx]

One question: if the arch is 6 and the wall is 8 why don't you go for 7 overall instead of dodging and burning ?

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

See the video at 7:42 that'll answer your question. The wall needed a lot more time

[@certs743]

Is there a trick to figuring out framing for a pinhole or is it just trial and error and lots of rolls of film?

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

You'll get used to how wide angle of view you get. And basically point it in the right direction.

[@certs743]

@@ShootFilmLikeaBoss Thanks for the tip. I have been considering a 120 pinhole. I used to have a 4x5 pinhole but sold it because it got too expensive.

[@LynxTassi]

прекрасно показана работа со "звездочкой на проволке"!

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

Спасибо

[@michaelbruchas6663]

How do you not fog film with that exposure counter window?

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

Backing paper on the film. Never fogged or got a circle of death

[@Huginn1000]

Nice! What tripod do you use?

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

It's a Velbon d-700

[@gd70]

Great stuff! Oh.... and what a relief watching your videos! Phew! An analog photography channel that do not use those annoying instrumental funky lounge/hiphop/jazzy beats/BG music with some mellow electric piano 100% of younger analog photographers on YT use! Millennials analog photographers, please stop!
